Book Description

A moving and scientific look at the curative powers--both physical and mental--of rescuing a shelter animal, by the president of Humane Society Silicon Valley. MUTUAL RESCUE profiles the transformational impact that shelter pets have on humans, exploring the emotional, physical, and spiritual gifts that rescued animals provide. It explores through anecdote, observation, and scientific research, the complexity and depth of the role that pets play in our lives. Every story in the book brings an unrecognized benefit of adopting homeless animals to the forefront of the rescue conversation. In a nation plagued by illnesses--16 million adults suffer from depression, 29 million have diabetes, 8 million in any given year have PTSD, and nearly 40% are obese--rescue pets can help: 60% of doctors said they prescribe pet adoption and a staggering 97% believe that pet ownership provides health benefits. For people in chronic emotional, physical, or spiritual pain, adopting an animal can transform, and even save, their lives. Each story in the book takes a deep dive into one potent aspect of animal adoption, told through the lens of people's personal experiences with their rescued pets and the science that backs up the results. This book will resonate with readers hungering for stories of healing and redemption.

This generation is struggling—mostly alone. Fear and pain are everywhere. And yet most of us, especially men, forget or forgot what’s available and intended to help us survive and even thrive in these evil days: authentic Christian community. In Rescue, Justin Camp reminds guys that God put his Spirit into their hearts so they would come out of isolation to support and sacrifice for one another. This third book in the life-changing WiRE series explores: Why the myth persists that “real” men don’t need each other How vulnerability is the only path to becoming hearty, rugged, good men Practical wisdom for starting worthwhile spiritual communities Scattered, men are assailable. United with brothers and God, though, they’re protected—ready for anything this world might threaten.
